This topic lesson links in nicely with our Science lesson yesterday as we will be sorting dinosaurs according to whether they were herbivores, omnivores or carnivores.

 

 

I have chosen a clip of some dinosaurs grazing - as most dinosaurs were herbivores. I decided not to add a video of any dinosaurs eating other dinosaurs! I shall leave that up to your parents to decide if you can watch any clips of carnivorous dinosaurs!

 

 

Today's Task:

 

I have attached a Lesson Presentation about today's learning. Have a look through and sort the creatures into the correct section of the Venn diagram.

Challenge Task:

 

You may also like to research some interesting facts about the eating habits of your favourite dinosaur, or find out the answers to some of these questions:

 

Do you think the T Rex was a predator or a scavenger?

 

Were most dinosaurs meat-eaters or plant-eaters?

 

Which dinosaurs were bigger - plant-eaters or meat-eaters?

 

How did brachiosaurus get so big by eating plants and not meat?

 

How much food could a T-Rex eat in a day?

 

Were there omnivorous dinosaurs?
